fraternity pin
Brotherhood membership emblem
A fraternity pin is a small decorative badge worn by members of a college fraternity or sorority to signify membership.
Traditionally, a man giving his fraternity pin to a woman—called pinning—signaled a serious romantic commitment, a step between dating and engagement: He pinned her junior year, and they married after graduation.
The practice has faded but persists at some universities.
